[V8] Seat height

[Ed Kellock]

I'm pretty sure I recall correctly a distinct difference in seat
height/adjustability/headroom between my '87 5kcstq and my 1st '91 Avant.  

Currently have a '90 v8q, and both a '91 V8q and a '91 Avant and don't
notice any real differences in seat height/adjustability among the 3.

I wonder if we can pin this down to a VIN break.  I need to look up the VIN
for the '90.
